The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - Caravan of Garbage

After the huge success of the first Hunger Games an adaptation of the sequel book was inevitable. So a year later in 2013 Jennifer Lawrence returns as Katniss Everdeen in a bigger budgeted follow up that asks the question, what if Hunger Games but more? With great new inclusion like Phillip Seymor Hoffman and...I dunno a poison fog or whatever this entry turned out to be the biggest box office return for the series before the decline. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review!

This was by far the best of the movies in terms of pacing, budget, and effects. My favorite part of this is actually the arena entrance. Fun fact, all of the arena scenes were filmed in IMAX and when Katniss goes from the black tunnel to the arena it’s a seamless transition from wide screen to full screen IMAX. As an audience member, most people didn’t even pick it up.

I think the rating system is a double edged sword for the tributes. Cause you want a high score for sponsers so you can live, but a high score also puts a target on your back so others will go for you right away - like they did Katniss

@@Rougarou99 Yeah, when James and Mason suggested intentionally getting a low score I was like "That's literally what Johanna Mason did for her game" Her approach in hers was to pretend to be shy and meek and then when the game actually started she dropped it and just tore through the rest of the unsuspecting tributes. And part of what makes her interesting in this book/movie specifically is that approach only works once. So she has to actually do things like form alliances and stuff, because no one is underestimating her now.

Not to mention that her fighting ability likely wouldn't be effective against some of the Career Victors, who had spent decades training. That, along with her known animosity towards the Games and the Capitol, probably opened a window for the Rebellion to convince her to join their cause, if only for her survival.

The point of Katniss not making any hard choices is an interesting one and touches on something in the books that I don’t think translated well to the movies. Katniss is a tool to all the political leaders around her and they rob her of agency repeatedly, they infact destroy her life for their political gain, resulting in the deaths of many people close to Katniss, leaving her shattered and barely able to function. Peeta also. The end of the book is actually really depressing, with her trying to piece together a life with Peeta, whom she doesnt really love but trauma bonded with, knowing she led a pointless rogue mission to try to kill Snow that accomplished nothing but the deaths of her friends and sister… It also ties into commentaries on using individuals as tools or symbols of rebellions.

@@jonsmith5058 of all the YA dystopia books that came out at the time, I think they're unquestionably the best. The characters are better, the love triangle is honestly not as annoying in book as it is in the movie, and the movies just do not get into the nuance there where a lot of it is what she's forced to do and her reactionary emotions. The politics are well done, the rebellion is well done. The "good guys" are flawed as hell. It isn't a clean, simple narrative. Katniss is forced into being a megaphone and doesn't have a lot of agency until she makes some of the HARDEST choices in book three, and she makes them hesitantly at first, some of them arguably very wrongly, and then that last one very definitively. She's an interesting character. So are Peeta and Gale in their own ways. In that genre, the characters and the books are totally working above average.

I straight up asked her if she even finished reading the page. She left and came back a few moments later saying "nevermind."

it's interesting James takes the position that there's not enough murder. That is sort of the idea; Snow knows that he can't continue the Hunger Games as is because the districts are fed up with killing each other. So the 75th Games were meant to be a reminder that the Capital is still in charge and can kill or control whoever they want, regardless of how many alliances they form and how much they fight. The only mistake Snow made was to think that he could keep the rebellion OUTside the Capital, when Plutarch was right under his nose. All that to say, James doesn't care about the story he just wants to watch kids violently murder each other because he's a sick bloke am I right

@boheyo 7 ай бұрын

It just wasn't that good of a plan, like, the original 'you will betray and kill each other because we say so' is a much scarier and relevant concept than 'we'll make a big wave and release the cyber apes'.

@adamseidel9780 7 ай бұрын

@@boheyothis is the correct take. It’s weaker conceptually because it starts the trend, completely greatly by the following movies, of the main character having basically no agency and being on a special protected track the entire time. I mean yes, she’s still a cool and tough bow girl, but she’s not involved at all in this massive conspiracy that also happens to revolve entirely around her. But then when the apparently super important objective of her involvement is secured… she films some advertisements and isn’t allowed to actually be involved in anything important. She doesn’t get to make a single choice until literally like the very end of the final movie. In the other hand, all the arena machinations are fun, more fun than watching her figure out how to start a fire or whatever, so the good part of the series, the fun and horrifying battle royale action, is better than ever. Which is what’s more important since it’s what’s good about the movies anyway.

@micahdye7215 7 ай бұрын

@boheyo I would agree but this doesn’t make much since since the supposed scarier “you will betray and kill each other” failed when katniss and peeta refused to do so, proving the capital wasn’t as powerful. “We’re going to act like you can win this but actually you’re all going to die” is much scarier. Not to mention, all of it was a ruse from Plutarch because he rigged it

@@adamseidel9780 Katniss being robbed of her agency is the point. Both sides in the story are happy to use her as a tool for their own agendas and basically ruining her entire life. Jennifer Lawrence couldn't really represent this, but Katniss is 16 in the first Games and 17 in the second. She is at most 18 by the time the revolution ends. She is a child being used as a pawn by all the adults around her only to lose the people closest to her repeatedly. This deliberately isn't a story about a "chosen one" doing all the big plot action because that's not how revolutions work in real life. It is always collective, and THG is one of the few series that actually shows that. Just Write did a great video on this topic.

Gale is definitely more interesting in the books, he's calculating and pragmatic and sees himself as the patriarch of Katniss' family since her father died. As the books go on, he becomes more ruthless and cold, which results in his plan of using bombs hidden inside Sponsor packages dropped on children in an evacuation zone, and then detonate a 2nd explosive to kill the medics and people who rush in to provide aid after the first explosions and make it look like the Capitol had launched the attack, which gets Prim killed. Instead they just made him a bland love triangle prettyboy to gaslight Katniss all movie long for her trauma

The flames that engulf Katniss and Peta as part of their display in the pre-games promotion were originally portrayed as a much hotter, and thus more azure hue of flame; whilst the idea sounded good on paper, in execution it blended a little too much into their costumes, and so the digital artists had to shift the flames down a few kelvins - the next VFX pitch for this sequence hence had the working title of Blue Harvest.

There was also a scene where the characters’ clothes catch fire for real. In their desperation they recall the safe word that they were taught by the organisers to say in an emergency: “Rodney” (the name of one of the first Hunger Games champions). So the sequence involved both Katniss and Peeta repeatedly yelling “Rodney” before expiring. The studios decided that audiences weren’t ready for that yet, and cut the scene.

I disagree that Katniss didn't make difficult choices. She struggles with splitting up early from her allies to survive with Peeta several times. She almost runs away, but then realizes everyone in District 12 and other Districts are still in danger. She regrets not running away when she learns she has to go back to the games. She gives a heartfelt speech about Rue when tensions are high and shes told to follow the script. Everyone around her lying makes her seem like a less active character though

I'm from the U.S. and I used to watch Beyond 2000 when I was a kid on Discovery Channel. They had a car that could turn into the door for your house. Outrageous!!!

Ya know, I don't even like Hunger Games very much, but if really bugs me when people who hate it use the complaint of "They barely even do any hunger games!" Like, it's clearly not the entire point of the series. It was the catalyst that started everything off and most important in the first book, abs so after the term became the name of the franchise. How many Halo games have nothing to do with the Halo? I don't hear people bitch about that.

I have listened and followed and loved these gentlemen for going on...five years? Six, maybe? Regardless, 14:52 is the hardest I've laughed in a long, LONG time. Superb work James and Maso and Lawrence, who I assume edited this episode. It's just got that Lawrence stank all over it. Gorgeous.

Oop, I take it back, 18:30. What a masterclass of editing.

Very much appreciate it mate! The editing certainly does a lot of the heavy lifting

11:47 the whole point if showing off your skills to the games makers is so they can set your odd. When more people think you can win more people donate gifts to help you win. If you suck no ones going to waste their money in you

Big props to Ben and Laurence for maintaining the IMAX footage as well as editing in the IMAX transition shot in the part with Lenny Kravitz. Great attention to detail.

"A lot about the movie doesn't make sense but it's still pretty well executed...oh this reminds me of this local Australian thing" makes me wonder a lot about how Australia works.

Saw the first movie and never saw another one. The Tale of a Collaborator is what I call it.

Catching Fire almost has no business being as good as it is - it's everything I think the first movie should have been, and none of the other movies come close to reaching its heights. In a series of mostly 5 to 6/10 movies, Catching Fire is an honest 9 or a 10 from me.

That Woody/Liam moment ist priceless! When I did my review on my German channel, I literally compared CATCHING FIRE to EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. I am not taking it back. This movie is fucking amazing. The book is way better, more fleshed out and, Jesus, is it brutal.

I'm glad someone else pointed out the weirdness of the Susan Boyle "She's ugly but she can sing!" thing. I'm sure it was great for her self esteem to have everyone be shocked that she's good at something but not as attractive as we'd expect. So fucking weird.
